Revitalizing the Spirit of Hospitality
At Anives®, we believe in hospitality that is delivered through a spirit of humility, an honest willingness to serve others. Anives aims to help those in the hospitality industry as they build a career around their unique skills and interest. By pinpointing your purpose, you will gain a deeper understanding of what drives you. You will begin to naturally seek out and become more engaged in work that is aligned with your passions.
You have to ask.
Many inspirational stories start the same: Someone did something amazing and I want to emulate that! So many of life’s journeys start with a form of inspiration but lack encouragement and support to get off the ground.
The inspiration for Anives began thirty years ago with a breakfast cook. The journey started with encouragement and was followed by actions that warranted being emulated. Mr. Williams, a hotel General Manager, took note of the cook’s unrelenting curiosity about other roles within the hotel and recognized potential for growth and career development. He patiently answered questions and one day said:
“I will teach you all that you want to learn. You can ask me anything, sit in on meetings, listen in on calls (when appropriate, of course); there isn’t anything I am not willing to show you. But I have one rule: You have to ask.”
MR. williams
His rule was clear: He would not come to the cook; he had to go to him. He had to show initiative and drive. He had to make the investment in his own learning. It would not be handed or fed to him.
That breakfast cook is our founder, and Mr. Williams’ approach to helping him navigate his personal development changed his life and set the stage for Anives®.
Paying it forward
A message from our founder
Thirty years later, Mr. Williams’ lesson still resonates with me. It continues to structure every relationship, guide every business decision, and every action I try to take within the incredible Hospitality industry.
Hospitality is defined as “the friendly and generous reception and entertainment of guests, visitors, or strangers.” Hard to argue against that. Anives® looks to take that a bit further, in defining it this way:
“If you provide something to a person that they cannot provide for themselves, you are providing hospitality.”
Simply put: People taking care of people is hospitality. Anives® looks to emulate the life changing lesson Mr. Williams taught me so many years ago. Ambition can yield great reward, but rewards can be temporary. Ambition tempered by wisdom yields great growth, and growth impacts all those around you! Through mentorship and foundational training, Anives® serves to help guide individuals in discovering their unique skill set that will help prepare them for long-term, fulfilling careers in the service industry.
What drives you? What inspires you? What do you want to give to others that they cannot provide for themselves? What might be your purpose?
